All the days of his separation, he is to be consecrated to Adonai.
Even if his father, mother, brother or sister should die, he is not to make himself unclean, because his consecration to God is on his head.
“Now if someone should die suddenly in his presence, thereby defiling his dedicated head, he is to shave his head on the day of his purification—the seventh day.
For this boy I prayed, and Adonai has granted me my petition that I asked of Him.
So I in turn dedicate him to Adonai—as long as he lives he is dedicated to Adonai.” Then he bowed in worship there before Adonai.
